I think Jo might be my spirit animal. But she lasted far longer with Aunt March than I would have. Sewing samplers is there worst!! Give me a TV anyday! Okay, this is the 1800s... Give me a quilt! I love quilting. But I also love digging in the dirt of a garden, playing games that involve running, and in general being a tomboy. Jo is the best. I'm sad she heard that conversation and came up with her plan.
I remember reading this when I was a teenager. It is one of my favorite books that I read growing up. I also read Meg's Story but I think I liked Jo's a little more.
This is also a very interesting book. Jo is a tomboy and hates to be proper. She overhears her wealthy aunt asking her mother if she wants to adopt one of her children so the other kids can have a better life. Jo decides to sacrifice herself for her sisters. Now Jo have to convince that she is proper enough, but it may be to hard for the tomboy that she is.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories of 10 year old girls and their life.
